I see it more often in farmers and ranchers than I do in the general public and our children were raised in the same manner. I hope that it has just become second nature to them to be thoughtful and courteous. Seems this is one of the things we, as a society, have lost on the road to progress.Ranch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581852590008365006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-88657091305127341222016-12-04T18:55:40.482-07:002016-12-04T18:55:40.482-07:00I agree, it is so disrespectful to others when peo...I agree, it is so disrespectful to others when people park like this.

They aren't trying to take 2 spots -- they just park at an angle that makes the next space too tight. I doubt they even realize it. Sigh.

I think what I've noticed the most is that people seem to bend the rules for themselves. It's okay if they do it because they know "how" to do it right/safe/ok but it's not okay if others do it. It's worrisome. That parking spot has me shaking my head. There's no need for that. elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-9730036110192850062016-12-01T11:50:17.065-07:002016-12-01T11:50:17.065-07:00I think it falls to the Mothers and Fathers of chi...I think it falls to the Mothers and Fathers of children to instill common courtesy in their children. I have two grandsons who will take my arm when walking, carry stuff for me and open doors. Mostly their Mom has trained them well....but their Dad is a courteous kind person also. <br />Seems like everytime I go to Wally World I end up taking carts out of the handicap area. This week a gal was parked there in a big old van, she was the only person and was unloading groceries to beat the band...I suppose she could have a hidden handicap...but I doubt it:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-31781821804367678442016-12-01T11:48:37.794-07:002016-12-01T11:48:37.794-07:00I think that your post is a good reminder to do al...I think that your post is a good reminder to do all we can, as we cannot but lead by example. kathy bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534431969086721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-15927421248790317032016-12-01T11:36:59.693-07:002016-12-01T11:36:59.693-07:00Courtesy?

That makes me sound jaded, but I get so angry when I see a person park in a handicap space and they don't have a card or license that designates them as handicapped. We were walking in from the parking lot at Walmart a few days ago and a big, burly cowboy pulled into a handicapped space and got out of his "big ole" truck. He jogged into the store. I was going to approach him in the store and say a few well chosen words, but Bill said it might not be a good idea since he was bigger than both of us.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-1308531073696909352016-12-01T09:39:50.642-07:002016-12-01T09:39:50.642-07:00I agree with your post Nancy.

I thanked him and he said sometimes he's afraid to hold the door sometimes because some women actually scold him for it saying that they're capable of holding the door. So, it seems that some women are making men afraid to perform common courtesies. <br /><br />Taking 2 spots is just rude, especially at a medical facility where many may not be able to walk very far. I do believe things are deteriorating.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-44481456807672165532016-12-01T09:16:48.269-07:002016-12-01T09:16:48.269-07:00Good morning Nancy .... my sister parks like that ...Good morning Nancy .... my sister parks like that in her mid-sized town in NE, she does not want others to ding her doors.

Just last week I was grumbling about a big pickup parked just like that across 2 spots. It was a shiny new pickup so I assume that he was trying to avoid door dings - or maybe just too lazy to park right. <br /><br />I don't know that I would say that most of the rude folks are young however. Some of the rudest people I've encountered lately have been my own age (60s). And some of the most polite have been teens.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-58747912286057620522016-12-01T07:29:41.945-07:002016-12-01T07:29:41.945-07:00Most young people are not taught to be kind or cou...Most young people are not taught to be kind or courteous and this is the results.....sad state of affair.Changes in the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942797186537814864noreply@blogger.com
